NEW PROJECT: Rainbow Rodeo
Hello, Teardrops!   In case you didn't know, I've started a whole new podcast called Rainbow Rodeo! This is the newest episode!   Sylvia Rose Novak hates expecations. That's why they've torn down their Americana image and set stakes in the alt-rock world with their blistering album A Miss/A Masterpiece -- not coincidentally, breaking out of the Americana genre has coincided with Novak coming out as non-binary. We talk about the album, Novak's coming out experience, and how they've trained their audience to adjust to a different sound. Subscribe to Rainbow Rodeo on Patreon, and learn about Sylvia's unexpected run-in with Lucinda Williams!

Episode 173: May Music Roundup feat. Travis Linville, Johno Roberts, Maia Sharp, Volk, Lindsay Ellyn, Robert Finley, Eddie 9-Volt
Lots of great music came out on May! Let's round' em up! Read the transcript for this here. Album of the Month: Maia Sharp -- Mercy Rising Maia Sharp’s Mercy Rising. You’ll see what I mean when you listen to “You’ll Know Who Knows You.” This is a really sexy song, something that to me has an ineffably queer, nay, lesbian, aesthetic. The whole album is incredible; a sort of Neil Young influence, yes, but so confident and experimental and uniquely Sharp’s. Travis Linville -- “See You Around” (I’m Still Here) (3:41) Johno Roberts -- “Reflections of Me” (Single) (6:58) Maia Sharp -- “You’ll Know Who Knows You” (Mercy Rising) (10:50) Volk -- “I Fed Animals” (Cashville) (14:50) Lindsay Ellyn -- “Pieces of Things” (Queen of Nothing) (19:16) Robert Finley -- “My Story” (Sharecropper’s Son) (23:16) Eddie 9-Volt -- “3 AM in Chicago” (Little Black Flies) (28:17) Next week’s topic: Queer Pride! w/ Adeem the Artist Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters” Send me music via SubmitHub!
